We are not Mexican(s) – Part 1/2

Making-of

Finally we managed to complete our last short, a 2 part story about three luchadores (Mexican Wrestlers) who are NOT Mexican.

The story turns around the night preceding Escorpion last fight before retirement. Events will turn out for the worse.

This was the most complex project we have completed, with multiple locations, three different actors, a complex story, moving cars, dangerous stunts, and lots of props.

The worse part was the sound. Like other times before, we failed to have a good recording, so big part of both chapters is voiced over, adding lenghty sessions to cover the full set of dialog.

The filming took three full days, working always against the clock. Plus, having people with masks in cars brings quite some police attention. That is the reason for the inhabited backgrounds, and also because they fit the story.
